Dougs hung up the phone and looked at Yan Xi who was smiling happily. Yan Xi waved his hand at Dougs for a long time, but Dougs didn't respond and came over, "Dougs, what's the matter with you?"
Dougs came back to his senses and smiled, "It's okay, I was just thinking about what to eat."
Yan Xi was not suspicious, "I just saw a restaurant nearby. There are quite a lot of people. The taste should be good. Let's go there later."
"Okay."
"Dougs, where is our next stop?"
"The capital."
Yan Xi stopped and turned to look at Dougs, "The capital? Didn't you mean traveling around Europe?"
Dougs looked at her with gentle eyes, "I want to go to the capital, are you willing to accompany me?"
Yan Xi thought about it and nodded, "The capital is the capital. I haven't been to the capital for a long time. When I get to the capital, I will show you the high school I used to go to. It's beautiful there, but it's a pity that I didn't take the exam. Go to college there."
"You want to go to the university there?"
"Well, I want to take the B major, but before the test I was sick and hospitalized and missed the test, my parents let me study in Sydney, but it's good, I met a lot of new friends, I'm very happy Love the city of Sydney."
Yan Xi's eyes were bright and sparkling. Dougs looked at her and suddenly said, "Let's not go to the capital for now, we'll go to Country D for the next stop."
Yan Xi wondered, "Don't you want to go?"
"The capital is the last stop, and we will go when our side is over."
"Okay, I went to country D with my mother before, and that country is also very beautiful. I have always wanted to go again."
Dougs looked at Yan Xi's curved eyebrows and sighed in his heart, Yan Xi, this is the last thing I can do for you, I hope your happiness can last longer and longer.
**
Beijing, the ninth day.
Fu Hengyi made an appointment with the photographer today to take a pregnancy photo for Shen Qinglan.
When she arrived at the studio, Shen Qinglan looked at the camera, suddenly she didn't want to take pictures, stood there for a long time without moving, Fu Hengyi looked at her, "what's the matter?"
Shen Qinglan said lightly, "Let's go back, I suddenly don't want to shoot anymore."
Fu Hengyi had some doubts in his eyes, thought about it, but didn't understand, "Is there something uncomfortable?"
Shen Qinglan shook her head, she just stopped taking pictures the moment she saw the camera lens, "No, let's continue."
Fu Hengyi looked sideways, just now he didn't want to shoot, and now he said to continue, what is this
Shen Qinglan saw his doubts and said, "Women are always fickle, let alone pregnant women, I changed my mind, let's shoot." This was arranged for her by Fu Hengyi, and she didn't want to disappoint his good intentions.
Fu Hengyi looked at her with a doting face, "If you don't want to shoot us, go back."
"No, I want to shoot, let's start." The latter words were said to the photographer.
Fu Hengyi looked at Shen Qinglan's brows earnestly and saw that she didn't have any reluctance, so he said, "Let's start."
Since it is a pregnancy photo, naturally it can't be only Shen Qinglan. As a prospective father, Fu Hengyi must be indispensable. The staff helped Fu Hengyi to the ground and let him sit there. Fu Hengyi suddenly understood the reason why Shen Qinglan was reluctant to take pictures just now. I don't want the photographer to capture this vulnerable side of me.
With a smile, Fu Hengyi held Shen Qinglan's hand and said softly, "Qinglan, this setback is nothing to me, you don't need to care about it."
Shen Qinglan looked into his eyes with tender affection, "Well, I know, I just wanted to change my mind. This is the first time our family of three took a photo together."
Fu Hengyi smiled slightly.
Looking at the two people looking at each other affectionately in the camera, the whole body is full of pink bubbles, the photographer clicked and captured this scene.
After coming out of the studio, Fu Hengyi accompanied Shen Qinglan to a course for expectant mothers and fathers during pregnancy. This course was accompanied by Shen Qinglan once a year ago, but the course was temporarily over because of the Chinese New Year.
There are expectant fathers and expectant mothers in the classroom, but Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi are definitely the focus of the audience. Whether it is their outstanding appearance or temperament, it is hard not to attract attention.
It was still Fu Hengyi who was in charge of taking notes. Shen Qinglan looked at him seriously and couldn't help teasing him on the way back, "Are you so serious when you were in school?"
Fu Hengyi thought for a while and shook his head, "Not really."
Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing.
The New Year passed without knowing it. On the 16th day of the first month, Shen Qinglan's teahouse opened for business. Shen Qinglan went to the teahouse and received a call from Jin Enxi on the way back.
Jin Enxi said regretfully, "I didn't find anything, it's unbelievable. Ann, I'm sure now that there is absolutely something wrong with this Qin Yan. I can't guarantee that this woman has some ulterior motives behind it."
"Since this is the case, come back first, nothing is found is the biggest problem." Shen Qinglan said. She was not at all surprised by such a result. If Jin Enxi found out, she would have looked down on Qin Yan at first.
"Well, I'll be back today."
"What happened to Yan Shengyu?" Shen Qinglan asked.
"I couldn't find anything useful, just like what the police did at the beginning, there was no evidence pointing to Yan Anbang and Qin Yan. I even investigated Qin Yan's fund account and call records, but I didn't find any suspicious problems. Either this It has nothing to do with Qin Yan, or this woman is very cautious and her tail is handled very cleanly." Jin Enxi guessed that if it was the latter, she could avoid her personal investigation, and Qin Yan is a more terrifying woman than they expected. much more.
There was no gain, and Jin Enxi didn't need to stay in Nancheng anymore, and he was a little dejected when he came back. There had never been anything she couldn't find out, and as a result, she had always encountered setbacks recently. First, Mrs. Jin, and then Qin Yan. These two women were like two mysteries that people couldn't see through.
Thinking of this, Kim Eun-hee's eyes narrowed. Are they all mysterious women? She suddenly remembered Shen Qinglan's suspicions, what if Mrs. Jin and Qin Yan were the same person at all
He quickly shook his head again, if Madam Jin and Qin Yan were really the same person, and Madam Jin was involved with so many forces, why not deal with them directly, but use such a roundabout way? No, to be precise, Qin Yan hasn't dealt with them at all so far, and what she messed with has always been the Yan family's affairs.
Thinking of this, Kim Eun-hee felt that his mind instantly became muddy, and many things didn't make sense at all.
Shen Qinglan was also thinking about the same question, but what she was thinking about was what kind of grievance Mrs. Jin had with her. If Mrs. Jin was Qin Yan, then she and Qin Yan had nothing to do with each other.
"What are you thinking about, why don't you get out of the car when you get to the door?" Shen Junyu's voice came from her ear, and Shen Qinglan recovered, only to find that she had already arrived home.
Shen Qinglan got out of the car, Shen Junyu looked at the thing she was holding, "What is this?"
"Album." She had just dropped by the way and picked it up in the studio.
Shen Junyu followed Shen Qinglan in, reached out and took the album in her hand, "Well, it's a good shot. Is the photographer of this studio the same as the photographer of your wedding photos?"
Fu Hengyi snorted, their wedding photos were very good at the beginning, and he was too lazy to change people.
"Brother, you can also find them for your wedding photos." Shen Qinglan said, looking at Shen Junyu, his eyes probed.
Aware of her gaze, Shen Junyu raised his head, "What's wrong?"
"I heard from Sister Xi Yao that you have been very busy recently, and you often disappear after work. What are you busy with?"
Shen Junyu's eyes flashed slightly, "It's okay."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Shen Qinglan became even more curious, "Could you be doing something wrong to Sister Xi Yao behind your back?"
Shen Junyu stretched out his hand and tapped her head lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about, my brother, am I like this?"
Shen Qinglan hehe, "It's impossible to say."
Shen Junyu raised his hand to fight again, but met Fu Hengyi's cool eyes, put down his hand, and walked, this married sister is no longer his. Thinking of this, Shen Junyu's heart became more and more sad.
Fu Hengyi retracted his eyes and continued to look at the magazine in his hand.
**
Yan Xi came back on the 20th of the first lunar month. After spending nearly 20 days in Europe with Doug, she was in a much better mood. Dougs came back with her.
"Dougs, have you booked the hotel yet?" Yan Xi asked just after walking out of the Beijing Airport. The hotel was arranged by Dougs along the way.
Dougs took her into a taxi, "We're not going to Beijing, we're going to Nancheng now."
Yan Xi paused, "Go to Nancheng, what are you doing?"
"Send you home," Dougs said.
Yan Xi didn't leave, and looked at Dougs with a serious expression, "Dougs, I don't want to go home."
Dougs stared into her eyes, her eyes were very beautiful and clear, but at the moment these big eyes were full of resistance. He could even imagine that when Yan Xi found out that his mother had become a vegetative state, With tears in his eyes, his heart clenched fiercely and looked away, "Yan Xi, your mother is sick, you should go see her."
Yan Xi's expression changed, "What happened to my mother?"
Since she was sent back to Sydney by Zhao Jiaqing last time, Yan Xi didn't want to face everything at home, and never contacted anyone at home.
"Your mother is sick and hospitalized. Let's go see her first."
Yan Xi has no reason to refuse, that is her mother, and now she is sick, she absolutely cannot stop seeing her, but her mind is filled with strong unease, "Dougs, what's wrong with my mother? "
Dougs shook his head, "I don't know, I only found out when your brother called me." He didn't say, although he knew that doing so would not have any effect, but one minute later if he could.
On the way back, Yan Xi was very nervous. She had a mobile phone in her hand. She wanted to call her brother, but she didn't have the courage to dial the string of familiar numbers.
Arriving at the hospital, Yan Xi stood at the door of the hospital and hesitated to go in. Dougs took her hand, "Yan Xi, don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
"Dougs, my mother is seriously ill, right?" Yan Xi asked, if not, why didn't they tell her directly
Dougs was silent. This silence was the default. Yan Xi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Her steps suddenly hurried, and even staggered, Dougs grabbed her arm, "Yan Xi, this way."
The closer to the ward, the slower Yan Xi's every step. She stood at the door of the ward and did not move for a long time. Dougs knew what she was afraid of, but did not urge her, just waited quietly for her.
The door of the ward suddenly opened, Yan Shengyu came out, and was very surprised to see Yan Xi, "Xiao Xi, why are you back?" Looking at Dougs, he didn't seem to understand why the two came back together.
Yan Shengyu's current appearance is not very good. He hasn't had a good rest for a long time. In addition, he has been running around outside and in the hospital for a long time, his mental state is very poor, and his appearance is also very embarrassed.
"Brother, mom she..." Yan Xi opened her mouth in a hoarse voice, but she couldn't go on.
Yan Shengyu's expression froze suddenly, and he seemed to realize that this was the ward, and his mother was lying in it.
"Xiao Xi, listen to me first, mother she..."
Yan Xi pushed Yan Shengyu away and walked in directly. She stared blankly at her mother lying on the hospital bed, and at the gauze wrapped around her body, she seemed unable to react.
"Mom, I'm back." Yan Xi shouted softly, but Zhao Jiaqing on the bed did not respond at all.
"Mom, I'm back." Yan Xi increased the volume, but still got no response.
She walked slowly to Zhao Jiaqing's side, "Mom, I'm Yan Xi, I'm back, won't you open your eyes and look at me?"
Yan Shengyu came in, looking at Yan Xi's appearance, suddenly he didn't know how to speak, closed his eyes, and said slowly, "Xiao Xi, mom, she can't hear."
Yan Xi turned around and stared at him closely, "Why do you say she can't hear, isn't she asleep?"
Just as Yan Shengyu was about to speak, Yan Xi suddenly interrupted him, "Brother, don't say it, I beg you, don't say it."
"Yan Xi, my mother was in a car accident and became a vegetable." Yan Shengyu still spoke out.
Yan Xi looked at him with cold eyes, "Didn't I say don't say it? Why do you still say it?"
Yan Shengyu felt bitter in his heart, "Xiao Xi."
Yan Xi covered her ears, "Don't talk, I don't want to listen." She turned around and rushed to Zhao Jiaqing's side, "Mom, I'm Yan Xi, your little Xi, I'm back, open your eyes and look at me OK?"
Her eyes were hopeful, staring closely at Zhao Jiaqing's face.
Just gradually, the light in her eyes slowly went out, her big eyes were filled with tears, her vision was blurred, she reached out to hold Zhao Jiaqing's hand, and put her face in her palm, "Mom, are you angry? So Don't want to ignore me?"
Yan Shengyu wanted to come over, but was pulled by Dougs, Dougs shook his head gently, Yan Shengyu stopped, quietly looking at the little sister who was floating in front of the hospital bed, crying softly, who was as low as a wounded beast. The sound of crying was like a knife, cutting through his heart.
Yan Shengyu's eyes blushed instantly, and Dougs looked at Yan Xi's back with pity in his eyes.
Yan Shengyu walked out of the ward, looked at Dougs and said, "You shouldn't have brought her back."
Dougs looked at the ground, "Always know, you can't hide this from her for the rest of your life."
Yan Shengyu closed her eyes in pain, yes, it is impossible to hide this matter from Yan Xi for the rest of her life, she will know sooner or later, "I would rather she not know for the rest of my life."
**
In the ward, Yan Xi held Zhao Jiaqing's hand and whimpered softly, "Mom, is it because I'm too self-willed, so you are angry and deliberately ignore me, right? My brother said you became a vegetable, but I don't believe it, Mom, You love me so much, how can you bear to ignore me? Open your eyes and look at me, and I promise to listen to you in the future."
"Mom, I've figured it out. You and Dad don't love each other, and it's meaningless to be together. You're right to divorce. I support you. Dad doesn't want you. Can I stay with you for the rest of your life?"
She gently shook Zhao Jiaqing's hand, as if she was coquettish with her when she was a child, "Mom, I'm really not willful in the future, so don't be angry, open your eyes, I'll be scared if you do this."
Tears filled her face.
Dougs walked in and stood beside her, "Yan Xi."
Yan Xi raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes, "Dougs, tell my mother, I promise to listen to her in the future and never be self-willed again. You wake her up."
"Yan Xi, the doctor said that your mother has become a vegetable, and the chance of waking up is very small." She even faced cardiac arrest at any time and completely died.
Yan Xi shed tears silently. She made Dougs heartache more than she was making a lot of noise and hysteria.
"Yan Xi." Dougs called out, but he didn't know what to say.
"I want to accompany my mother alone, okay?" Yan Xi said softly.
Dougs paused, "Okay." He turned and left the ward.
Yan Xi stayed for several days. She did not allow anyone to enter the ward except doctors and nurses.
"Dougs, Xiao Xi looks like this..." Yan Shengyu was very worried.
Dougs was also worried, but compared to Yan Shengyu, he had to be more calm, "Wait for her to calm down."
What Yan Shengyu is worried about is Yan Xi's illness, "This stimulus is to Yan Xi..."
Dougs is silent, he can't judge now, even he can't see Yan Xi these days.
In the ward, Yan Xi wiped Zhao Jiaqing's body, changed her clothes, and sat beside the bed to talk to Zhao Jiaqing.
"Mom, the weather is fine today. I want to go out to sunbathe. Would you like to wake up and go with me?"
"I traveled with Dougs before, traveling around Europe. We traveled to many countries, saw a lot of scenery, and ate a lot of delicious food. I remember you said, when I have summer vacation, I will follow you. Let's go around the world together, Mom, you are a person who keeps your promises and will never break your promise, right?"
"Next time I travel, I want to go to Egypt. I want to see the pyramids. It is said that the pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs and the crystallization of human wisdom. I want to go and see them. Let's go there next time."
Outside the ward, Yan Shengyu and Dougs watched the scene inside through the glass window.
"Dougs, this is not the way to go, Yan Xi will collapse."
Dougs' eyes darkened, "I know, I'll go talk to her first." With that, Dougs opened the door of the ward.
He walked to Yan Xi's side and said slowly, "Is mom feeling better today?"
Yan Xi didn't look at him, but looked at Zhao Jiaqing, "It's still like that, Dougs, do you think my mother will wake up?"
Dougs couldn't answer this question. He had communicated with the doctor and knew that letting Zhao Jiaqing wake up was tantamount to creating a miracle, and there were not so many miracles in this world.
"Yan Xi, what should you do if your mother can't wake up?" Dougs asked her.
Yan Xi's eyes fell on him for the first time, "Do you mean that my mother will never wake up?"
"Yan Xi, what I'm saying is that if, in case your mother never wakes up, we should learn to face the worst side of things when we think about them, right?"
Yan Xi was silent. When she heard Dougs say that her mother couldn't wake up, anger surged in her heart, but she couldn't get angry with Dougs, who was always there when she needed help most. beside her.
"Dougs, go out and leave me alone." Yan Xi said, her mind is not calm now, and it is uncertain what she says.
Dougs didn't go out, he looked at Yan Xi, "Yan Xi, you should think about what I said, what should you do if your mother can't wake up?"
"Enough!" Yan Xi suddenly shouted, "Dougs, are you teaching me how to do it now? You keep saying that my mother can't wake up, why do you say that? Who are you to me? ?!"
Yan Xi shouted and cried. Her emotions have been tense these days, except when she first saw Zhao Jiaqing on the first day, she did not shed a single tear. Dougs and Yan Sheng Yu knew that if this continued, Yan Xi would collapse sooner or later.
Dougs did not stop Yan Xi from venting his emotions. Such venting is not a bad thing for Yan Xi. As for what Yan Xi said, it was automatically ignored by Dougs.
Yan Xi's voice became hoarse, and she was tired of crying, so she sat on the ground quietly and did not speak.
She sat on the ground with her legs crossed, her head resting on her knees.
Dougs sat down beside her and asked softly, "Are you in a better mood now?"
"Dougs, I'm sorry." Yan Xi said, her voice was soft and hoarse.
Dougs smiled slightly, "You don't need to say sorry to me, Yan Xi, your nerves are too tense and need to be released, the matter of your mother is something we all don't want to see, but it happened now, we You have to learn to face it, you know what I mean?"
"I know, Dougs, you said why the world has become so fast, I left here less than a month ago, and when I come back, my mother will be like this, if I had known it was like this, even my mother I won't leave even if I break my leg." Yan Xi said, the tears that just stopped bursting again in an instant.
"Yan Xi, there is no if in this world, you have to learn to be strong." Dougs stretched out his hand, wiped away her tears gently, and said gently.
Yan Xi looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Dougs, tell me, what are the chances of my mother waking up?"
